That whatever DB does, he is immediately condemned by a small number of people on here. This year we have strong revenues being seen from Wressle, we have drilled a successful well in Oklahoma, we have purchased mineral royalties that are returning revenue, 10% of consideration earned since December 2023 announced in January, so whilst we are unaware of the total earned to date, it is more revenue. A small dividend is being paid, maybe less than some may like but the fact remains it is something no other UK oiler is doing which makes Union Jack quite unique and offers a lot more hope of success than most. It's easy to get emotional when you are down on your investment and the first course of action is to blame the management. Demand they buy shares, demand they take salary cuts, demand bigger dividends, demand this, demand that. But I am quietly confident that the company is going to do extremely well in the US, given the chance. It has started off quite impressively and it would appear there's lots to come. Another Andrews well, the secondary recovery, the Wilzetta, possibly a third Andrews well. Forgetting the UK assets other than Wressle, the US assets are really going to compensate for the awful situation we are in with operators and the government outlook on this industry. What if we hadn't entered the US, what then? I wouldn't be expecting any good news for the rest of this year and longer.
